Losing power is never fun, but rest assured that when outages occur, hydroquebec crews do their utmost to restore service as quickly as possible.
But what causes outages?
In summer and winter alike, Hydro-Québec’s electric power distribution system is put to the test.
Although our equipment is robust and can withstand most adverse weather conditions, vegetation located near power lines is a little more vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.
When there are strong winds or violent storms, contact between branches and system elements can cause a power outage that can affect many customers.
Since the most violent storms occur between June and August, it’s no surprise that most power outages happen during the summer. In winter, heavy snow often bends branches or trees to the point that they touch power lines, causing outages.

MONTREAL -- Some hydro crews had to be called back from summer vacation on Saturday after a massive storm ripped through Ontario and southern Quebec, killing one person, injuring 10 others and leaving thousands without power.
At its peak, more than half-a-million customers in Quebec were without power after the storm on Friday. That number dropped on Saturday and was down to about 236,000 by late afternoon.
Hydro Quebec said most of the area around Montreal would likely have power back by the end of the weekend.
Other areas, such as the City of Laval and regions further north, could have to wait considerably longer.
It could be days before crews can access downed power lines in more remote areas because roads are blocked by fallen trees, said a spokesman for Hydro Quebec.
"It was the severity of the thunderstorms and the fact that it touched a whole lot of regions across Quebec that really made this exceptional," Gary Sutherland said in an interview.
Sutherland said workers were recalled from Quebec's traditional two-week construction holiday, which began Friday, to deal with the damage.
"It really swept from west to east," he said of the storm. "In some cases, trees were actually uprooted and then fell on the lines."
High winds accompanying the thunderstorms also damaged roofs and overturned cars, with gusts in the 100-kilometre-per-hour range in some places.

Quebec is Canada's second most populous province, after Ontario. Most inhabitants live in urban areas near the Saint Lawrence River between Montreal and Quebec City, the capital. Approximately half of Quebec residents live in the Greater Montreal Area, including the Island of Montreal. English-speaking communities and English-language institutions are concentrated in the west of the island of Montreal but are also significantly present in the Outaouais, Eastern Townships, and Gaspé regions. The Nord-du-Québec region, occupying the northern half of the province, is sparsely populated and inhabited primarily by Aboriginal peoples. The climate around the major cities is four-season continental with cold and snowy winters combined with warm to hot humid summers, but further north long winter seasons dominate and as a result the northern areas of the province are marked by tundra conditions. Even in central Quebec at comparatively southerly latitudes winters are very severe in inland areas.

I finish up the Winter Carnival by watching a night parade and partying it up at a nighttime outdoor snow rave.

If you want to experience a Canadian city with a bit of French flair, then you need to visit Quebec City.
Situated on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, this is a town with good looks and a big heart.
We only had a day and a half there, but that was enough time to wander the cobbled streets, catch some street performances, and visit many of the top attractions.
The following is a little video of our time in historic Quebec City, Canada highlighting the top 10 things to do and see in this top attractions travel guide:

1) Plains of AbrahamWe are no standing on the Plains of Abraham and this is the location where the battle between the English and the French was fought. This was the battle that ultimately determined the fate of North America.
This battle was part of the Seven Years' War and it would be the deciding factor over the fate of New France, influencing the later creation of Canada.
2) Citadelle
We just finished visiting the Citadelle and if you get the chance I would suggest you try to be here by ten in the morning. That is when they have the changing of the guard ceremony and it is a lot of fun to watch. They even have a pet goat that takes part so it really is a lot of fun.
The Citadelle is the largest British fortress in North America.
3) Chateau Frontenac
Now we're visiting Chateau Frontenac, one of the most famous hotels in all of Canada. It is a stunner. It is just absolutely beautiful. We're trying to capture it from different vantage points.
The hotel was designed by American architectBruce Price. It was one of many "château" style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway company with the goal of promoting luxury tourism. Today, a night at the Frontenac starts at $379 dollars.
4) Terrasse Dufferin
This boardwalk that we are currently standing on is called Terrasse Dufferin and it is a great place for a stroll. You can catch some street performers, eat some ice cream and you also get some great views of the river below.
The promenade sits right outside the Chateau Frontenac and it is 425 meters in length. You can also catch a funicular nearby which takes you to the Old Lower Town.
5) Quartier Petit Champlain
Petit Champlain is a neighbourhood located in the Old Lower Town. It is quite picturesque, especially when viewed from the Breakneck Stairs. The narrow cobbled streets are lined with small shops and cafes. It's a really fun neighbourhood to explore with a camera in hand.
6) Basilica Notre Dame de QuebecThe Basilica Notre Dame de Quebec is the oldest church in the Americas north of Mexico. If you want to get a sneak peek at the crypt, you'll have to sign up for a guided tour.
7) Rue St. Paul
We're now walking along Rue St. Paul and this is a great place to browse for antiques and you can buy some souvenirs.
Just don't leave your visit to the end of the day because you may find that a lot of the shops have closed.
8) Museum of CivilizationThe Museum of Civilization is a great place to learn about the Aboriginal peoples of Quebec.
9) Port of Quebec
We're here now in the PortArea. This is a great place to take a ferry. A lot of people come here to exercise, to fish and just to enjoy the views of the St. Lawrence river. It is a really relaxing place.
The Port of Quebec is the oldest in all of Canada and it played an important role in developing the region. Today you'll find that cruises have replaced much of the former freight traffic.
10) Catch a StreetPerformance
And lastly, you can't come to Quebec City and not catch a street performance! The city celebrates its performers and you'll often find acts taking place in the town square and parks. Grab a seat for some live entertainment and don't forget to leave a tip at the end!
And that concludes our brief but very enjoyable trip to Quebec City! We hope that you enjoyed this video and that it will help inspire your Canadian travels.

Visit Canada - Montreal and Quebec City Travel Guide and Top Attractions

Travel video about destination Ville de Québec in Canada.
On behalf of the French crown, in 1608, Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post from which originated Québec, a city that today looms over the Saint Lawrence River like a majestic fortress. It is the birthplace of French culture in North America.
With its small towers and green glimmering roofs, the Chateau Frontenac majestically watches over the city. The castle like hotel was built and lavishly furnished in 1894 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and in 1943, was the rendezvous for the allies who met to prepare for the Normandy Landings.
Québec's upper city is encircled by a four kilometre long fortified wall that was alternately built upon by the French and the English. In former times, various gates barred entry to the fortress but today, they are wide open and welcome visitors into the well preserved old town.
Designed by master builder Baillairgè in 1844, Basilique-cathédrale de Notre-Dame-de-Québec was Canada's first Catholic cathedral. The Baroque dome of the basilica demonstrates the splendor of Catholic Church design while the altar captivates with its rich detail and paintings of the Holy Mother.
The Funiculaire connects the upper city with the lower, the Quartier Petit Champlaine that was the country's first settlement.
The train station looks like a medieval castle and its large hall seems to be the grand entrance chamber of a palace. The station's anterooms contain huge windows while its ceilings display colorful glass images.
Canada's oldest city has successfully retained its deep and historic roots and has sensitively linked them to the needs of the modern world. Québec is truly a sparkling gem of French culture in North America.

Having now visited Quebec City in both the summer and winter I'm officially naming it our favorite city in Canada.I've never visited a city where I felt such a radical difference between seasons. Coming back here in the winter felt like falling in love and rediscovering Quebec City all over again. We bundled up early on a Sunday morning to wander around the Old City before the masses converged.

We ended up walking (or should I say sliding/skating) down Petit Champlain marveling at all of the festive and Christmas decorations before warming up next to a fire and then grabbing a hot chocolate, Nanaimo bar and cookies. Later we wandered down to the Saint Lawrence where we could see massive chunks of ice floating down the river. Finally, we checked out a few different vantage points where we could admire some of the best city views and snap photos of the Château Frontenac.
Winter in Quebec City TravelGuide Video Transcript:
Faster, horses! Faster!
And how is the ice princess this morning?
Doing very well. This morning we are heading in to the Old City. We're going to do a bit of a walking tour on our own. Let's head into town and check it out.
We are about to enter the old city.
There are real benefits to waking up early on a Sunday morning. We've practically got the old part of the city to ourselves. And what a different feel. In the summer it had a totally different vibe and now in the winter it's like an entirely new city to explore.
So I just noticed there are railings all along the street and I think it is because it is so steep and it gets so icy in the wintertime that if they didn't have these babies people would just be sliding all the way down. Well, we've been sliding a lot anyways. Yes.
So it is kind of cool being here in the winter because even though it is February it still feels like Christmas never left. Like we still have Christmas trees, Christmas lights, lots of red. So it feels very festive. Absolutely.
We found a little place where to warm up. There is a little outdoor fireplace. It is our own personal fire place.
And we really need it after all that walking. Put your legs up by the fire.
It's a dragon! It's a snow dragon! A fire breathing dragon.
Alright, it is time to warm up. Let's go for a hot chocolate and maybe even a cupcake. Yum yum. Lead the way.
How is that hot chocolate? Mmmm. That is so good after that really really cold walk. Alright, it's time to lick your lips. You've got cream all over your face. There you go.
That's some kind of classic Canadian food. Here we've got Nanaimo bars. Audrey is digging in. Very Canadian. Let's have that first bite. Mmmm. Sweet enough for you?
It's such a nice breakfast.
And I've got fudge and Bonhomme de Carnaval. And this guy has been really nice to me but unfortunately I'm going to have to take a bite out of his head. Sorry, Bonhomme.
Does he taste good? He does.
What do you have over there? And the last indulgence of the day - we've got pure maple sugar fudge.
I'm not surprised you would go for that. You're always looking for fudge wherever we go. I don't have anything to say - it's just pure bliss.
Now if you can believe it we were bonkers enough to be doing ice canoeing out in the Saint Lawrence with those massive chunks of ice. It was just one of the craziest things we've ever done. We can't wait to show you that video as well.
So now we're working our way up to the Chateau Frontenac. That means climbing a lot of steps. I'm already out of breath. We still have a few more to go.
Lead the way.
It's a little steep and slippery over here. I almost feel like I could go snowboarding.
Do it. Do it.
And the concludes our walking tour of Old Quebec. Now we're going to head back to our hotel, warm up a little bit and get ready to do some more exploring in the afternoon.
This is part of our Travel in Canada series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Canadian culture, Canadian arts, Canadian foods, Canadian religion, Canadian cuisine and Canadian people.
All photos and video taken by SamuelJeffery (Nomadic Samuel) and Audrey Bergner (That Backpacker).

Hydro-Québec: understanding power outages

Losing power is never fun, but rest assured that when outages occur, hydroquebec crews do their utmost to restore service as quickly as possible.
But what causes outages?
In summer and winter alike, Hydro-Québec’s electric power distribution system is put to the test.
Although our equipment is robust and can withstand most adverse weather conditions, vegetation located near power lines is a little more vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.
When there are strong winds or violent storms, contact between branches and system elements can cause a power outage that can affect many customers.
Since the most violent storms occur between June and August, it’s no surprise that most power outages happen during the summer. In winter, heavy snow often bends branches or trees to the point that they ...

Québec Hydropower: Myths and Realities

http://www.hydroforthefuture.com -- In the wake of the film Seeking the Current with Roy Dupuis, do you have questions about hydropower or the profitability of the Romaine project compared to other sources of renewable energy? The film raises a number of questions on such issues as Hydro-Québec's commitment to energy efficiency and other renewables such as wind, geothermal and biomass energy. Did you know that hydropower produces 4 times less GHG emissions than solar power? Watch the video and visit http://www.hydroforthefuture.com/realities to learn about the myths and realities regarding the topics discussed in the film.

Thousands still without power after storms hit Quebec, Ontario

MORE NEWS-----http://bc.vc/oEOCoA
MONTREAL -- Some hydro crews had to be called back from summer vacation on Saturday after a massive storm ripped through Ontario and southern Quebec, killing one person, injuring 10 others and leaving thousands without power.
At its peak, more than half-a-million customers in Quebec were without power after the storm on Friday. That number dropped on Saturday and was down to about 236,000 by late afternoon.
Hydro Quebec said most of the area around Montreal would likely have power back by the end of the weekend.
Other areas, such as the City of Laval and regions further north, could have to wait considerably longer.
It could be days before crews can access downed power lines in more remote areas because roads are blocked by fallen trees, said a spokes...

Losing power is never fun, but rest assured that when outages occur, hydroquebec crews do their utmost to restore service as quickly as possible.
But what causes outages?
In summer and winter alike, Hydro-Québec’s electric power distribution system is put to the test.
Although our equipment is robust and can withstand most adverse weather conditions, vegetation located near power lines is a little more vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.
When there are strong winds or violent storms, contact between branches and system elements can cause a power outage that can affect many customers.
Since the most violent storms occur between June and August, it’s no surprise that most power outages happen during the summer. In winter, heavy snow often bends branches or trees to the point that they touch power lines, causing outages.

MONTREAL -- Some hydro crews had to be called back from summer vacation on Saturday after a massive storm ripped through Ontario and southern Quebec, killing one person, injuring 10 others and leaving thousands without power.
At its peak, more than half-a-million customers in Quebec were without power after the storm on Friday. That number dropped on Saturday and was down to about 236,000 by late afternoon.
Hydro Quebec said most of the area around Montreal would likely have power back by the end of the weekend.
Other areas, such as the City of Laval and regions further north, could have to wait considerably longer.
It could be days before crews can access downed power lines in more remote areas because roads are blocked by fallen trees, said a spokesman for Hydro Quebec.
"It was the severity of the thunderstorms and the fact that it touched a whole lot of regions across Quebec that really made this exceptional," Gary Sutherland said in an interview.
Sutherland said workers were recalled from Quebec's traditional two-week construction holiday, which began Friday, to deal with the damage.
"It really swept from west to east," he said of the storm. "In some cases, trees were actually uprooted and then fell on the lines."
High winds accompanying the thunderstorms also damaged roofs and overturned cars, with gusts in the 100-kilometre-per-hour range in some places.

Eight children were injured in Prevost when a tent at a day camp came down on its occupants.
Areas north of Montreal, including Laval, the Laurentians, Lanaudiere, along with the Outaouais region were hit hardest by the storm. Portions of the Saguenay region were also hit on Saturday, leading to new outtages.
Sgt. FredericJean, a spokesman for Laval police, said they were flooded with a huge number of emergency calls during Friday's storm. Some power lines and trees were still down on Saturday and remained a safety concern, he said.
"I've been on the force for 14 years and I've never seen anything like it," he said.
In Ontario, some of the most affected areas included Pembroke and Petawawa on the Ottawa River, and Callander outside North Bay.
Hydro One reported 93,000 customers were without power by Saturday afternoon.

It has dispatched teams to investigate the storm damage.
The storm even took out a piece of Canadian history.
In Toronto, a tree said to have inspired the song The Maple Leaf Forever was brought down.

Angela Merkel has been the German Chancellor for twelve years – how have other women fared in German politics? The road is still a difficult one.
Under Chancellor Merkel six of her 16 cabinet members are female – but how equal are women in the still male-dominated domain of politics? What resistance do they encounter on their way up? And what are the qualities and abilities of their male rivals?
Female politicians often bemoan the fact that their appearance, dress and hairstyles are frequently seen as more important than their political ideas. Manuela Schwesig (SPD), Germany's FamiliesMinister from 2013 to 2017 and now State Premier of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was frequently mocked as a "BalticBarbie." The reformed communists' leader, Sahra Wagenknecht, was treated as the "pin-up of the German left," and DeputyCDU chairman Julia Klöckner was nicknamed "shit-storm in pumps."

In this travel video guide to Quebec City, I travel around Quebec City including its historic Old Town (a UNESCO World Heritage Site), stop in at the famed Ice Hotel where visitors spend the night on ice beds, and explore the Winter Carnival, the biggest winter carnival in the world that attracts over 600,000 people a year.
I finish up the Winter Carnival by watching a night parade and partying it up at a nighttime outdoor snow rave.

10 THINGS TO DO IN QUEBEC CITY | Travel Guide

If you want to experience a Canadian city with a bit of French flair, then you need to visit Quebec City.
Situated on the banks of the St. Lawrence River, this is a town with good looks and a big heart.
We only had a day and a half there, but that was enough time to wander the cobbled streets, catch some street performances, and visit many of the top attractions.
The following is a little video of our time in historic Quebec City, Canada highlighting the top 10 things to do and see in this top attractions travel guide:

1) Plains of AbrahamWe are no standing on the Plains of Abraham and this is the location where the battle between the English and the French was fought. This was the battle that ultimately determined the fate of North America.
This battle was part of the Seven Years' War and it would be the deciding factor over the fate of New France, influencing the later creation of Canada.
2) Citadelle
We just finished visiting the Citadelle and if you get the chance I would suggest you try to be here by ten in the morning. That is when they have the changing of the guard ceremony and it is a lot of fun to watch. They even have a pet goat that takes part so it really is a lot of fun.
The Citadelle is the largest British fortress in North America.
3) Chateau Frontenac
Now we're visiting Chateau Frontenac, one of the most famous hotels in all of Canada. It is a stunner. It is just absolutely beautiful. We're trying to capture it from different vantage points.
The hotel was designed by American architectBruce Price. It was one of many "château" style hotels built for the Canadian Pacific Railway company with the goal of promoting luxury tourism. Today, a night at the Frontenac starts at $379 dollars.
4) Terrasse Dufferin
This boardwalk that we are currently standing on is called Terrasse Dufferin and it is a great place for a stroll. You can catch some street performers, eat some ice cream and you also get some great views of the river below.
The promenade sits right outside the Chateau Frontenac and it is 425 meters in length. You can also catch a funicular nearby which takes you to the Old Lower Town.
5) Quartier Petit Champlain
Petit Champlain is a neighbourhood located in the Old Lower Town. It is quite picturesque, especially when viewed from the Breakneck Stairs. The narrow cobbled streets are lined with small shops and cafes. It's a really fun neighbourhood to explore with a camera in hand.
6) Basilica Notre Dame de QuebecThe Basilica Notre Dame de Quebec is the oldest church in the Americas north of Mexico. If you want to get a sneak peek at the crypt, you'll have to sign up for a guided tour.
7) Rue St. Paul
We're now walking along Rue St. Paul and this is a great place to browse for antiques and you can buy some souvenirs.
Just don't leave your visit to the end of the day because you may find that a lot of the shops have closed.
8) Museum of CivilizationThe Museum of Civilization is a great place to learn about the Aboriginal peoples of Quebec.
9) Port of Quebec
We're here now in the PortArea. This is a great place to take a ferry. A lot of people come here to exercise, to fish and just to enjoy the views of the St. Lawrence river. It is a really relaxing place.
The Port of Quebec is the oldest in all of Canada and it played an important role in developing the region. Today you'll find that cruises have replaced much of the former freight traffic.
10) Catch a StreetPerformance
And lastly, you can't come to Quebec City and not catch a street performance! The city celebrates its performers and you'll often find acts taking place in the town square and parks. Grab a seat for some live entertainment and don't forget to leave a tip at the end!
And that concludes our brief but very enjoyable trip to Quebec City! We hope that you enjoyed this video and that it will help inspire your Canadian travels.

Visit Canada - Montreal and Quebec City Travel Guide and Top Attractions

For those looking to experience Canadian culture look no further than Montreal and Quebec ...

Ville de Québec Vacation Travel Video Guide

Travel video about destination Ville de Québec in Canada.
On behalf of the French crown, in 1608, Samuel de Champlain established a fur trading post from which originated Québec, a city that today looms over the Saint Lawrence River like a majestic fortress. It is the birthplace of French culture in North America.
With its small towers and green glimmering roofs, the Chateau Frontenac majestically watches over the city. The castle like hotel was built and lavishly furnished in 1894 by the Canadian Pacific Railway and in 1943, was the rendezvous for the allies who met to prepare for the Normandy Landings.
Québec's upper city is encircled by a four kilometre long fortified wall that was alternately built upon by the French and the English. In former times, various gates barred entry to the fortress but today, they are wide open and welcome visitors into the well preserved old town.
Designed by master builder Baillairgè in 1844, Basilique-cathédrale de Notre-Dame-de-Québec was Canada's first Catholic cathedral. The Baroque dome of the basilica demonstrates the splendor of Catholic Church design while the altar captivates with its rich detail and paintings of the Holy Mother.
The Funiculaire connects the upper city with the lower, the Quartier Petit Champlaine that was the country's first settlement.
The train station looks like a medieval castle and its large hall seems to be the grand entrance chamber of a palace. The station's anterooms contain huge windows while its ceilings display colorful glass images.
Canada's oldest city has successfully retained its deep and historic roots and has sensitively linked them to the needs of the modern world. Québec is truly a sparkling gem of French culture in North America.

Winter in Quebec City Travel Guide

Having now visited Quebec City in both the summer and winter I'm officially naming it our favorite city in Canada.I've never visited a city where I felt such a radical difference between seasons. Coming back here in the winter felt like falling in love and rediscovering Quebec City all over again. We bundled up early on a Sunday morning to wander around the Old City before the masses converged.

We ended up walking (or should I say sliding/skating) down Petit Champlain marveling at all of the festive and Christmas decorations before warming up next to a fire and then grabbing a hot chocolate, Nanaimo bar and cookies. Later we wandered down to the Saint Lawrence where we could see massive chunks of ice floating down the river. Finally, we checked out a few different vantage points where we could admire some of the best city views and snap photos of the Château Frontenac.

And how is the ice princess this morning?
Doing very well. This morning we are heading in to the Old City. We're going to do a bit of a walking tour on our own. Let's head into town and check it out.
We are about to enter the old city.
There are real benefits to waking up early on a Sunday morning. We've practically got the old part of the city to ourselves. And what a different feel. In the summer it had a totally different vibe and now in the winter it's like an entirely new city to explore.
So I just noticed there are railings all along the street and I think it is because it is so steep and it gets so icy in the wintertime that if they didn't have these babies people would just be sliding all the way down. Well, we've been sliding a lot anyways. Yes.
So it is kind of cool being here in the winter because even though it is February it still feels like Christmas never left. Like we still have Christmas trees, Christmas lights, lots of red. So it feels very festive. Absolutely.
We found a little place where to warm up. There is a little outdoor fireplace. It is our own personal fire place.
And we really need it after all that walking. Put your legs up by the fire.
It's a dragon! It's a snow dragon! A fire breathing dragon.
Alright, it is time to warm up. Let's go for a hot chocolate and maybe even a cupcake. Yum yum. Lead the way.
How is that hot chocolate? Mmmm. That is so good after that really really cold walk. Alright, it's time to lick your lips. You've got cream all over your face. There you go.
That's some kind of classic Canadian food. Here we've got Nanaimo bars. Audrey is digging in. Very Canadian. Let's have that first bite. Mmmm. Sweet enough for you?
It's such a nice breakfast.
And I've got fudge and Bonhomme de Carnaval. And this guy has been really nice to me but unfortunately I'm going to have to take a bite out of his head. Sorry, Bonhomme.
Does he taste good? He does.
What do you have over there? And the last indulgence of the day - we've got pure maple sugar fudge.
I'm not surprised you would go for that. You're always looking for fudge wherever we go. I don't have anything to say - it's just pure bliss.
Now if you can believe it we were bonkers enough to be doing ice canoeing out in the Saint Lawrence with those massive chunks of ice. It was just one of the craziest things we've ever done. We can't wait to show you that video as well.
So now we're working our way up to the Chateau Frontenac. That means climbing a lot of steps. I'm already out of breath. We still have a few more to go.
Lead the way.
It's a little steep and slippery over here. I almost feel like I could go snowboarding.
Do it. Do it.
And the concludes our walking tour of Old Quebec. Now we're going to head back to our hotel, warm up a little bit and get ready to do some more exploring in the afternoon.
This is part of our Travel in Canada series. We're making a series of videos showcasing Canadian culture, Canadian arts, Canadian foods, Canadian religion, Canadian cuisine and Canadian people.

Hydro-Québec: understanding power outages

Losing power is never fun, but rest assured that when outages occur, hydroquebec crews do their utmost to restore service as quickly as possible.
But what causes outages?
In summer and winter alike, Hydro-Québec’s electric power distribution system is put to the test.
Although our equipment is robust and can withstand most adverse weather conditions, vegetation located near power lines is a little more vulnerable to the whims of Mother Nature.
When there are strong winds or violent storms, contact between branches and system elements can cause a power outage that can affect many customers.
Since the most violent storms occur between June and August, it’s no surprise that most power outages happen during the summer. In winter, heavy snow often bends branches or trees to the point that they touch power lines, causing outages.

Thousands still without power after storms hit Quebec, Ontario

MORE NEWS-----http://bc.vc/oEOCoA
MONTREAL -- Some hydro crews had to be called back from summer vacation on Saturday after a massive storm ripped through Ontario and southern Quebec, killing one person, injuring 10 others and leaving thousands without power.
At its peak, more than half-a-million customers in Quebec were without power after the storm on Friday. That number dropped on Saturday and was down to about 236,000 by late afternoon.
Hydro Quebec said most of the area around Montreal would likely have power back by the end of the weekend.
Other areas, such as the City of Laval and regions further north, could have to wait considerably longer.
It could be days before crews can access downed power lines in more remote areas because roads are blocked by fallen trees, said a spokesman for Hydro Quebec.
"It was the severity of the thunderstorms and the fact that it touched a whole lot of regions across Quebec that really made this exceptional," Gary Sutherland said in an interview.
Sutherland said workers were recalled from Quebec's traditional two-week construction holiday, which began Friday, to deal with the damage.
"It really swept from west to east," he said of the storm. "In some cases, trees were actually uprooted and then fell on the lines."
High winds accompanying the thunderstorms also damaged roofs and overturned cars, with gusts in the 100-kilometre-per-hour range in some places.

Women and Power – Germany's female politicians | DW Documentary

Angela Merkel has been the German Chancellor for twelve years – how have other women fared in German politics? The road is still a difficult one.
Under Chancellor Merkel six of her 16 cabinet members are female – but how equal are women in the still male-dominated domain of politics? What resistance do they encounter on their way up? And what are the qualities and abilities of their male rivals?
Female politicians often bemoan the fact that their appearance, dress and hairstyles are frequently seen as more important than their political ideas. Manuela Schwesig (SPD), Germany's FamiliesMinister from 2013 to 2017 and now State Premier of Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, was frequently mocked as a "BalticBarbie." The reformed communists' leader, Sahra Wagenknecht, was treated as the "pin-up of the German left," and DeputyCDU chairman Julia Klöckner was nicknamed "shit-storm in pumps."
